Azonic Posted October 26, 2012 Share Things look shaky there in PE? Unfortunatelly, plenty shaky. I was really looking forward to the ride, got all my lights charged. But riding in rain/drizzle vs. slouching on the couch with the missus... easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime Posted October 26, 2012 Share Damn, I was also looking forward but no point driving down to PE if it's raining. Will have to skip till the next one then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabes Posted October 27, 2012 Share Well we decided to go ahead anyway. The rain backed off just before we started and came back about a km before we finished There were about 15 - 20 guys that rocked up. We went from kings beach up walmer boulevard then airport, laroche dr, strandfontein, admiralty and then back along marine drive Was good fun and we got a good response from motorists I'm sure weather permitting we will have a much bigger turn out next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's it like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaLoCo Posted October 27, 2012 Share That new j bay bike park? What's it like?Still a bit rough, lots of grass on the trails, but I have not been for a few months. Some of my mates who have done all the routes say that they are quite nice, scenic with acceptable singletrack in the trees. I have not done all the routes on account of me being a lazy ass. The Longest route, the black route has a nice climb and is about 8 km long. Coffee shop is basic, but the coffee and burgers are good. I only did the Blue route, and it climbs about 35m every time around (3.5 km). The day i was there Kevin Evans was also there (knows the owner personally) and he approved as well. fabes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
